Tus foolish exhibition of feeling against the lumbermen munifested by some 0. the members of the Ontario ~ Legisla â€" ture, of whom bLetter things might â€"hiive been expected, ought to warn the friends of the great staple interest of the : Ortawa Valley that they may probably be ca‘led upon to do battle for their rights at an early day. To describe the lumberman as the enemy of the settler is the merest nonâ€" ‘ sense, for he is in many instances hbis very best friend, and the owly one, who â€"by giving him employmient during his early set tlement, when his clearance is unable to sus tain him, and afterwards by baying his proâ€" duce so soon as he has a surplus to sell, enables him to live at all. The tmber which is cut by the lamberman, might indeed in ~â€"A#me instances be of value to individual setâ€" ~ _ élers; but it is utierly absurd to suppose that . We understand that it is the desire oi the D partment that all Customs officers through â€" outâ€"the country should strictly refraia from seeking or accepting municipal honors, or otherwise interfering in the approaching municipal elections.

It may be presumed, th=* for like reasons the same rule will be heli to apply to all ofice holders under the Department ot Inâ€" land Revenue, as the same reasons apply with equal torce; the object in both cases being obviously to hold all parties connected w.ih the ‘collection of the revenue, or emâ€" ployed for the purpose of preventing frauds thereon, above the suspicion, and as far as possible above the temptation, of favoritism in the discharge of their duties. Tuz merchants are going to have a meet ing this afternoon to consider the long vexed question of the © silver nuisunce." Since preâ€" vious efforts have so sigaully tailed, we hardly anticipate that the present movement will result in anything satisfactory. â€" The Governâ€" ment has imposed a prohibitory duty of fAfteen per cent. on American silvers This, it properly enforced, will effectually prevent the increase of the nuisance. Probably, therefore, the most sensible course to pursue, would be to await the development of the Government policy on the general subject of currency before resolving upon any definite course of action. We shall see, however, what, if anything, cur business men have to We are glad tolearn that yesterday mornâ€" ing, the Hon. Mr. Howraxp» was somewbat better.

It is objected that speculators make large lortunes out of theâ€"lumber business; but is it not true also that many Tirge fortunes are lost in in? And is it not perfectly legitimate that this buâ€"iness, which carries with it so many hazurds, which involves so large an amount of capital, the management of which taxes so much the mental and the physical energies of those who enguge in it,â€"should also hold out a reasonuble prospect of thuse pecumary rewards" which attend all other commercial eaterprises? â€" The dealer in grain and produce also runs large risks, sometimes making, sometmes unmaking, fortunes, and we might as well say, at the expense of the producer; though in fact the dealer, who purchases from the iarmer, is his beat friend, by virtually bring.., the distant marâ€" ket to his very door.. And where would be the market of the setiler, near the operations of the lumberer, if these operations were to It is urged that the settler should not only have the right to use but the right to seil the timber off his lands ; butit is very clear that if cutting timber on the lands of the €rown were to be entirely probivited, and this would be necessary to preserve the timber for the settler, the whole lumber business of the country would be exploded tor a generation ; for nobody suppores that bona fide seulers would at once take up the whole region, or even a hundredth part of it, over which the music of the woodiman‘s axe now rings forth aguinst the keen air of win ter.

Had the combination views of the Coalition Government been fully carried out, what would have been the result? ‘That in this Legislature, in which there was no second chamber to act a supervisory part over the deliberations ot the Assembly, there would be no organized opfimon whatever, He deprecated this iden. e true ground, the true principle in Government, is that it should be carried on by party, and this was the view he held in his constituency. This view he would have put before the House in the proper constitutional manner, had it bou‘nlnn- «ible, but it was not, because several members of his party had been compelled to say to their constituents that though dpposed to Coalition, they could not get into the House without having declared that they would give the Government a fair trial, 4 (Rear, hear, and laughter.) He did not blink the question. The Ministry had forced‘them into this posiâ€" tion, (Hear hear, from the mnur side.) His friends having been elected n these grounds there was no use in now testitrig the question _ which side has the majority in the ‘House. He did not hesitate to conâ€" demn much ot the extreme character of party politics in past times, and he was not there now te offer factious opposition to the Govâ€" erament. (Hear.) So long as he did not ste his woy to . the establishment of a. reusonably _ strong Government . hs would not undertake to attempt to put the present Government out of power, but rather to watch their measures closely and critically, pass euch as were good, and re. ject those which were bad. (Hear, hear.) His bonorable friend was a strong admirer of Representation by Population, and the county of North Ontario would not h‘: chosen him if he had not been; and in 1 he opposed the leader of the Government who had formed a Government that had decided to allow the matter to remain in abeyance.â€" In Western Canada, however, the Liberal Conservatives and the Reformers were very closely allied. . He still maintained that party Government, formed ngon party principles, was necessary, and he pointâ€" ud . out the advantages which bad reâ€" sulted in England from such Governments, In case there was no opposition offered, the affairs of the country would relapse intoa state of chaos; and: this he thonfit sbould bu avoided. ‘They had been told to wait till the Governor‘s speech should be presented, and :they would see what good measures a strong Government would introduce to : proâ€" mote l‘; wealth of the country, and ho conâ€" fessed ho waited with some auxicty to hear the Speech» from the ‘Throne.= Well, the }spcech had been delivered,,but there was very }ittle in it."

Now, he (Mr. Blake) was not willing to allow the Government to put forward its supporters in this way as proâ€" moters of important measures. The Govâ€" ernment should have taken the charge, the control of these measures, and assumeâ€" the responsibility of carrying them through the House, It was not the conduct he had exâ€" pected from a strong Government that had the support of members on both sides of the House. In the course of his remarks his bon. fmend from Bouth Grcy had said that Mr. Richards, the Commissioner of Crown"Lands, should make himself acquainted with other districts as well as the town of Niagara ; but it should be remembered that the Commisâ€" sioner of Crown Lands had a good deal of exâ€" gerience in other parts of the country. He had been down in the county of Leeds and a few other places, and he therefore must be well acquainted with the difficulties of aset. tler in search of a Jocation. ({Laughter.) .

The history of the past hundred years, the rise of her population from some sixty thouâ€" sand to the large nutaber exhibited by the late census, was a history of success unprecedentâ€" ed, and unparralleled, and full of encourageâ€" micut for the future, : The history of our couâ€" noction with British fustitutions and the Briâ€" tish race was one of mutual Lbeneft. To our contact with that racge we owed| in a large measure the extraordinary and rapid develop, ment of our dowmercial and industrial caterâ€" prisc. His Uxperignte hud convipced him that wherevel the two races met in most imâ€" mediate contéct, a certain sual of superiority distinguished{the men of both races and it was gratifying to every: French Canadian â€"to reflect that the result of our long éntercourse with our British fellowâ€"countrymen had been to make them esteem our laws, our language and our relifiou. He could safely assert that our present institutions would favorably comâ€" pare with those of any civilized community ; for besides ‘their own inberent qualities, we had engrafted upon them the long accumulaâ€" tion of British Parliamentary practice and wisâ€" dom.

EXPLANATIONS ; Mou, Mr. CAUCHON saud he did:not rise top make a speech on the Reply, but merely to read the correspondence which took place last summet between himself, His Excellency, and certain members of the present Government and others, in relation to the formation ofa Cabinct. ‘The corresponderce was, of itself, sufficlently explanatory of the reasons o|1lni¢ failure, without any comment from him. . ‘The hon.gentlciman then read the correspondence in question, which was very voluminous, ond‘ from the general tenor of which it could be “ collected that the stumblingâ€" block to Mr. Cauchon‘s fruitless effort to form a Ministry was Hon. Mr. Dunkin, between whom and the hon. gentleman difference of opinion existed in regard to the school question and the safeâ€" guards to be granted for the preservation of the rights of the British minority, as well as, towards the end, a misunderstanding in reâ€" gard to certain previous cony=rsations beâ€" tween them. Portions of it were somewhat bitterâ€"at least thuse portions which took plaze between the two hoa. gentlemen them. . selvesâ€"and elicited much suppressed laugh. ter in the House. When he had closed the reading of the documents, Hon, Mr.. Cauchon took occasion to pay a warm tribute of praise to the talents of the mover of the Reply. | of this House, he was satisfied that the sncâ€" cess ot Confedecration depended mauinly on the success of the Local Governments, FruitGrowsers will find the discussion of Fruit Growers published in The New York Weekly Tribune of great value. _ No Fruit Grower can afford to be without Tae Tribune.
